Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons with different numbers of neutrons, hence they have different masses.
the natural abundance of these elements vary, we are given percentages in which these isotopes exist.
average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic mass of an atom relative to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom. the average atomic mass can be calculated by taking the sum of the masses of isotopes multiplied by the respective abundance percentage 
average atomic mass = (235.044 amu x 80%) + (<span>238.051 amu x 20%)
                                   = 188.04 + 47.61
                                   = 235.65 amu
the average atomic mass is 235.65 amu </span>

A mixture of 454 kg of applesauce at 10 degrees Celsius is heated in a heat exchanger by adding 121300 kJ. Calculate the outlet
stira [4]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

           Mass of apple sauce mixture = 454 kg

           Heat added (Q) = 121300 kJ

 Heat capacity (C_{p}) of apple sauce at 32.8^{o}C = 4.0177 kJ/kg^{o}C

So, Heat given by heat exchanger = heat taken by apple sauce

                            Q = mC_{p} \Delta T

or,                    Q = mC_{p} (T_{f} - T_{i})  

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                     Q = mC_{p} (T_{f} - T_{i})  

              121300 kJ = 454 kg \times 4.0177 kJ/kg^{o}C \times (T_{f} - 10)

                      T_{f} = 76.5^{o}C

Thus, we can conclude that outlet temperature of the apple sauce is 76.5^{o}C.

If a neutral atom has 24 electrons and 26 neutrons how many protons does it have?​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

24

Explanation:

The number of protons in the atom of the neutral element will also be 24.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles

Neutrons do not carry any charges at all

Now, in a neutral atom, the charge is balanced and the number of protons and electrons are the same in the atom.

So, since we have been given that the atom has 24 electrons, the number of protons will be 24.
